Independent Reading Time: 20 minutes in the library. As they read, students looked for quotes that connected to big ideas: joy, survival, love, honor, friendship, fear, beauty, confidence, compassion, bravery, betrayal, and loyalty. Students then shared those lines on the quote wall that we've created in the hallway. (See my Twitter timeline for before and after photos.)

Writer's Notebook: Consider the questions that were asked of the candidates on the procon.org site that we looked at yesterday. What questions are missing? Come up with 3-5 questions that you think the candidates should respond to.

We read Ode 1 and Scene 2 of Antigone and worked on the questions and analysis packets.

Blog entry #3 is due Friday, 3/4, before 11pm. Students will have time in class Wednesday and Friday to work on this.
